World Pneumonia Day is observed annually on November 12, aiming to raise awareness about pneumonia, a life-threatening yet preventable and treatable respiratory illness. This global observance day focuses on vulnerable populations, such as children under five and the elderly. Through coordinated efforts, World Pneumonia Day promotes preventive measures, and better treatment options, and strives to reduce pneumonia-related mortality. The 2024 theme, "Every Breath Counts: Stop Pneumonia in Its Tracks," emphasizes respiratory health, timely detection, and effective treatment. This awareness campaign advocates for early intervention, education, and accessible healthcare.
